The next morning is a buzz with everyone having a good laugh about the night before as Loretta sits and listens with a little horror as youth is corrupted and I finally get to see the end results of my girl's makeovers as Kori and Rachael are sporting hair that would make a Kardashian jealous. Katy's hair is simpler with some brightly colored tips all around and Imelda's hair has a little bit of wave added to it. Matty on the other hand has me stunned, they straightened the shit out of her curly to impossible to brush hair and she's loving every bit of it as her hair can now be done up nicely. Ben is quiet but smiling about last night, Devin has Masha on his lap and she's feeding him again. I don't get the feeding him thing until I see she's wearing a skirt and hear her complain about soreness in Russian. Mark is just glad we all had a good time until I realize that we're missing two people, Lilly and Jun. We finish eating and I head up to their room alone and after more than a few knocks get a 'coming' from the other side. Lilly opens it a crack and I can see she's trying to hide herself as she notices me.
"Morning Guy, we're a little busy," Lilly says, sweating.
"Lilly, where is Jun, I need to speak with him," I asked, placing my hand on the door.
"He's tired Guy, come back later please," Lilly says as I hear a muffled groan from inside the room.
I slowly push the door open and Lilly backs up hiding behind it cautiously. I peek my head inside and see Jun strapped down to the bed by all four limbs with what looks to be oil smeared randomly on him and a ball gag in his mouth. I get inside quickly and close the door to see Lilly is naked save for the overly revealing and sexy lingerie.
"Lilly what the fuck are you doing to him. You said he was fine to go out last night," I say moving over to my friend.
"I'm not mad, I'm in love. My boyfriend was able to have sex with a stripper, that makes him hotter and I just can't help myself," She says sitting down on the chair in the room.
I get the gag out of Jun's mouth and he starts to flex his jaw. He looks like he's been here for hours as I start to release him.
"She's been having sex with me as often as she can get me hard," Jun tells me finally able to cover up," I said I needed to sleep and woke up like that with her getting me hard again. I need ice."
"Lilly you do realize that if you burn him out he's not going to have anything left when you need it most," I tell her admonishingly.
"I need it now too," She says, a little desperate.
"You both need food and time away from the bed. No sex for eight hours," my last words get a groan of disappointment from Lilly.
I leave the 'lovebirds' to their recovery and go about checking on my own girls. Last night was good for them once I came back and they felt more secure in the relationship again. It's the coming back that I find is more important than the letting me go for them and it leaves me thinking as we spend hours being lazy and playful with each other. A ringing on my phone has me jump up and grab it as we're in the TV room, I don't recognize the number but answer anyway.
"Hello you're speaking to Guy," I say politely into the phone.
"Hello to you too Guy," I hear Detective Escalante reply back.
"Detective, how are you today?" I say, feeling friendly and upbeat.
"I'm good but I still have that second problem I need your help with," She tells me before I cut her off.
"And I need hard Intel on my friend, Jackie is too important to put aside for another favor," I tell her trying to be upbeat," How did that last one work out for you?"
"Very well, he's been doing traffic for a month. And as for favors and Intel I'm going to suggest that you head to the mass of overpasses on the north side of the city, once underneath them you'll see where the biggest homeless camp has migrated to," Detective Escalante says giving me something for the first time in weeks," One thing Guy, she might not want to go so don't force her. They will get defensive."
"No worries, once I have her taken care of for good we are on," I say, hanging up the phone and bounding up to my room fast.
I get into my coat and boots with camouflage pants and a t- shirt that says 'die in a fire' as I see my crew gathering to figure out what to do to help.
"I need a weapon or something," I say heading down the stairs.
"Here take this," Imelda says, handing me her pistol.
"Thanks honey, I'll call when I have news," I tell them quickly getting a kiss from my girls as I bound out the door and once on my bike fly down roads.
The trip takes me maybe twenty minutes or so and I can see some of the 'campers' are still in setup as I slowly start to roll through looking around for Jackie. I park my bike and even pay a well fed woman to keep people from touching it and promise more if she does good as I walk through the unwashed masses with my hood up. I know it's a bad term to use but sadly it's true and considering there hasn't been much rain in the past month or so some people are in desperate need of a shower category but I trudge on. I am walking and looking for a few minutes as I know I'm being watched with skeptical eyes before I hear sounds of an argument and follow it to the source.
"I have some goods and I can pay but why didn't you stop them from taking my roof," I hear a familiar voice say desperately.
"Hey you haven't been keeping up with your share, if you can pay now that's fine but you still need to find something for your own roof," I see a grungy white man in bad old clothing say as I round the pillar.
"But you told me to leave and that it would be fine, now I come back and half my saved goods are gone and my roof is missing," Jackie says and my heart breaks to see her like this.
She's still the same 5'8" girl I remember but she's a bit thinner now and her old brown leather jacket is a little worn and her brown hair is now down to her shoulder blades but is matted with sweat and dirt from being outside and not showering. The rest of her clothes are a mess and her 'home' is two pallets as walls with two more underneath. She's got a cloth bag in her hands and honestly I almost can't feel my legs as I see my friend like this as she continues to argue.
"I can give you what I have left for food I got and I have some cash from when I was out on the corners begging this week but please I need to eat something," Jackie says desperate as the guy grabs the bag from her.
"You can get a new roof and this is your back owed and current owed unless you wanna start taking things out in trade," I hear him say with a sick tone.
